After taking the medicine every day, Nina started feeling much better and with that, her sleep improved as well.
With this newfound health, she was eager to challenge John to explore her current strength.
He had no intention of accepting her challenge though .He was far too worried and vehemently refused.
Many people also tried to persuade her to just relax for a few days, but she was hearing none of it.
"Do you want to smell the fragrance of roses and try their taste?"
Nobody understood what Nina meant, but John suddenly strode over, about to accept her challenge.
Seeing this, Vicente jumped between them and tried to keep the peace. "My little princess, you need to take care of yourself. Sean, you should behave as well. It's just roses after all, isn't it? Although the flowers are Nina's, the garden is mine. Smell and even eat them if you want."
"Vicente, these aren't the roses we're talking about. You don't understand. Please step aside,"
John said with a devilishly handsome smile. "You have to remember what you said today, Nina."
"Got it." Nina waved her hand and the others stepped aside.
The two instantly clashed in a fierce battle.
After observing for about five minutes, Noah said, "Nini is going to lose."
"What? How do you know she is she going to lose?" Vicente folded her arms as she watched the martial arts display unfold.
"Sean isn't even using all his strength. Nini can't possibly keep up for much longer," Noah explained. "It's only been five minutes. Sean is nowhere near panting or even slightly losing his breath. Nini is already having a tough time dealing with him. It won't be long before she loses."
A couple minutes later, John's arm struck like lightning past her ear and stopped just before he hit her neck. It cut through the air, wafting a breeze that blew her hair back.
As expected, Nina was defeated.
With sweat on her forehead, she gasped for breath. "Well, you win. At least I'm not weak, I was just outmatched for strength."
"Yeah it's good that you realized that much. You just need to exercise more every day. Don't forget the roses." John withdrew his hand.
Nina glared at him and said, "I won't forget."
As a result of this battle, Nina could gauge her current strength and start making her training plan.
'If I could get back to my full strength, John won't have any worries about opening my own detective agency.'
Nina's birthday came. There was no extravagant event, and she had a simple and joyful birthday in Scher Mountain.
The next day, Noah was going back to Lexingport City. He had been delayed on C Island for a few days now. If he didn't go back to work, he might lose his job.
Leon was about to leave C Island for Lexingport City, just in time to go with Noah.
Noah had nothing to pack while Leon had countless suitcases of luggage to take. Looking at the vast array of suitcases, Wynn's temper almost exploded.
"Leon, why do you need to bring so much when you can just buy them all when we get there? If I have to carry all by myself, it's going to be impossible. I'm just one person after all."
"Do you know why we are going to Lexingport City?" Leon glanced at Wynn, asking someone to pack two more suitcases.
Nina couldn't stand it anymore. "Leon, why don't you just take your whole room with you?"
"I'd like to," Leon smiled. "Going to Lexingport City for investments doesn't sound bad at all, but being exiled has the complete opposite connotation. Our mother said that the money can only be used for investing. All the money is going to be under her strict control. She's still punishing me for helping you escape."
Feeling bitter, Leon turned to look at John and asked, "Can you do it or not? Haven't you convinced my father to persuade his wife yet?"
"Ahem." John cleared his throat and turned his head away.
Leon was speechless.
